This collection comprises a comprehensive overview of key themes, arguments, and practices central to the study and understanding of site-specific performance.
Its collected essays, case studies, and practitioner accounts represent a must-have resource that engages with established and emergent ideas, themes, and practices central to this performance sub-discipline. Acknowledging the interdisciplinary nature of this field emergent through the creation and presentation of performance in non-theatre spaces, the companion includes writing from scholars whose work intersects with ideas from a range of related fields including dance, theatre, dramaturgy, human geography, architecture, walking studies, and archaeology. Alongside theoretical discussions and case study examples, a section on methods and structures allows site-specific practitioners to illustrate a range of practical approaches, tasks, and modes of producing site-specific performance in a range of sites.
This interdisciplinary survey brings together practices and voices from a wide range of global contexts, demonstrating and challenging the breadth of site-specific discourse. It provides a rich palette of perspectives, approaches, and ideas for students, academics, and researchers to draw from.
Victoria Hunter is a Professor in Site Dance at Bath Spa University, UK.
